[PATCH RFC v3 10/13] sysctl, net: update register_net_sysctl_sz() edge case
From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-19 18:17:02
Also in:
bpf, bridge, keyrings, linux-fsdevel, linux-kbuild, linux-rdma, linux-riscv, linux-s390, linux-sctp, lkml, lvs-devel, mptcp, netfilter-devel, virtualization
Subsystem:
netfilter, networking [general], proc sysctl, the rest · Maintainers:
Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Kees Cook, Joel Granados, Linus Torvalds
Handle the last (edge) case:
- nf_log.c: ignore sysctl table with template set at run-time.
And re-enable the macro.
